Lee Fisher on Energy & Oil

25% advanced and alternative energy by 2025

Our country has been heading down a path that leads to higher energy prices, a dangerous dependence on foreign oil, and an environment in peril. Investments in new clean energy sources will both create jobs that cannot be outsourced, and help make
us more energy independent.

Lee worked with Gov. Strickland to write and pass an energy bill that now requires that Ohio meet 25% of our energy needs through advanced and alternative energy by 2025.

As Ohio's Director of Development and
Chair of the Ohio Third Frontier Commission, Lee worked to ensure economic recovery monies were used to create new clean energy jobs in Ohio.

We can and must make
Ohio a hub of energy production, putting thousands of Ohioans to work creating sources of clean, advanced energy like wind turbines, solar panels, fuel cell-powered cars, and clean coal technologies.
